Former NFL player Buck Rasmussen thought he knew adversity—until his four-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, and just six weeks later, his pregnant wife was diagnosed with cancer.
What followed was a seven-year storm of fear, sleepless nights, identity collapse, and brutal lessons in what it really means to be a man, a father, and a caregiver.
In this powerful episode of Through the Rough, Buck shares the moment he couldn’t get out of bed… and how asking for help became the bravest thing he’d ever done.
This conversation is for anyone who’s ever held it all together on the outside… while falling apart inside.
If you’ve ever waited too long to ask for help—or know someone who has—this story will hit home.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
